Have you ever been on your computer and suddenly it froze, crashed or came to a slow crawl? And you had to restart, lost your work, lost time and felt so enraged that if you had an ax...STOP! Don’t kill the computer. Here are 6 ways to improve computer performance.
1. INCREASE VIRTUAL MEMORY: Virtual memory is the space your computer uses when it's short of RAM (Random Access Memory), which is the memory used when running programs like Office Suites. Resetting the virtual memory usage on your computer, also referred to as pagination, is great way to improve computer peformance. To access and reset the Virtual Memory: On the Start menu,click My Computer. The My Computer window is displayed. Click View System Information. The Systems Properties dialog box is displayed. In the Systems Properties dialog box click the Advanced tab. Under Performance, click Settings. The Performance Options dialog box is displayed. In the Performance Options dialog box, click the Advanced tab. Find the Virtual memory area. Click Change. The Virtual Memory dialog box is displayed. There you can make changes to the custom pagination. DO NOT exceed the limit given in the properties box of your windows system.
2. STORING FILES ON THE MAIN DRIVE: Do not store lots of data on the main drive, which is where you install your windows operating system. Storing software like games, finance programs and other software on another drive of your computer is another way to improve computer performance.
3. RESETTING START UP MENU: The speed with which your computer boots depends on the amount of programs that are set to be started automatically at booting. Removing unnecessary and unwanted programs from the start up process can greatly speed up a computer at the start up level.
4. TURN OFF SYSTEM RESTORE: Having the System Restore option on takes a lot of space from the hard drive. Freeing up a lot of physical memory by turning off system restore can significantly improve computer performance. To access and turn off System Restore: Click START, then click ACCESSORIES, then click SYSTEM TOOLS, then click SYSTEM RESTORE. Once there you can edit settings and then turn off the system restore option.
5. CLEANING INTERNET CACHE AND COOKIES: Temporary Internet files affect browser speed. Regularly cleaning the cache and cookies will make your browser and computer perform at a faster speed. To Clean Internet Cache and Cookies: click Tools from your browser toolbar and click on Internet Options to delete and clear cache and cookies. This should be done on a regular basis to ensure ongoing improvement of computer performance and browser speed.
6. DEFRAGMENTING THE DISK: Regularly defragmenting the drive will improve computer performance. This tool can be accessed from the Start Menu then Accessories then System Tools.
WHAT ABOUT SOFTWARE THAT CLAIMS TO IMPROVE COMPUTER PERFORMANCE?: There is software out there that claims to optimize computer speed and improve performance, but these softwares are often costly and do not provide an all-in-one tool necessary to speed up computers to the max. And so you wind up buying several software programs, which ironically take up more space on your computer, in an attempt to fix multiple problems and improve computer performance. Not really the best solution.
There are many more elaborate tools to improve computer performance and maximize computer speed without constant attention. To learn all the important tools for optimal computer performance and speed, without any software, as well as, procedures to automatically set convenient weekly or monthly maintenance, all presented in step-by-step video guides visit: FAST PC SECRETS
